| I have a toyota scion xb and i was driving on a snow covered road. i had a deer jump out in front of me. the anti-lock brakes failed and my wheels locked up and i slid into the ditch. i contacted the dealership and they said a speed sensor went out. i ordered the part and was going to have it replaced for $90. when they went to install the part they found a short in the wiring and that is what caused the sensor to fail. they wanted me to pay over $1000 to have the wiring fixed. they gave me a copy of the service advisory from toyota stating they knew they had this defect and had a redesigned part to install because of corrosion which caused the short. i refused to have the new parts installed because i don't feel i should have to pay for their design flaws. *tr | |||

| Parking brakes frozen during drive. it happen only in winter time. first time it happen when odo meter at 9,000 mile then 18,000 and now at 40,000+ miles. i checked with local repair shop and endup in replacing rotor + brakepads. but now i feel now it getting worse and repair shop insist that i should contact dealer about this problem, because it is not normal to replace rotor and brakepads twice with 40,000 miles of driving. windows also froze during the cold weather. *tr | |||
